Climate change is a very obvious concern, however, people often lose sight of the immediate dangers of pollution and the consumer lifestyle in favour of discussing the big picture.
My personal feeling is that the seasons have simply shifted. It doesn't get cold until the end of Nov now, and COP had snow on it well into May last year. Whichever side you choose for the climate change debate, wear shorts:
A COP study conducted last week revealed a correlation between the wearing of shorts in winter and snowfall. They demonstrated that one day of shorts-wearing can yield up to 4 inches of snow. So by my calculations, if we all wear shorts 5 days a week, we will get 20 inches of snow per week, which equals a total snowfall of approximately 80 inches by Christmas. For those metric among you, that's almost 300cms!!! Accounting for 60% snowfall to base ratio, that means COP will have a 180cm (of natural snow!) base by Christmas if we wear shorts Monday to Friday!
Haha. Bring on winter!
